Combat Rules
These are the rules that anyone who plays in our games must abide by. A referee will go over each rule with players before play begins.
- The head, groin, forearms, knees, ankles, feet, and hands are not valid targets. If you get hit in these areas it does not count. If someone intentionally attacks the hands, groin, or head they will be penalized and have to sit out.
- Do not swing or thrust with all of your strength. If you are bringing your swing all the way behind you to attack and putting your body into it, you are swinging too hard. If you are intentionally attacking with too much force or trying to hurt people you will be removed from the match. This goes doubly for those who are much smaller than you.
- When you get hit in a legal area you must call out “hit” to let your opponent and those around you know you are out. Legal areas for a hit are the torso, thighs, and arms above the elbow.
- Opponents may not initiate physical contact with each other with any part of their body or any object other than the intended attack part of their weapon. This means no running into or tackling other players and no hitting or kicking. If a player falls down, combat with that player must stop until they are back on their feet.
- Players may say “out” and return to spawn even if they are not hit. This may be the best option in certain circumstances such as being overwhelmed by a more skilled opponent or surrounded by several opponents.
- Players may not remove their protective masks during active play. If someone removes their mask they may not be attacked. If a referee sees someone removing their mask during play they will be asked once to put it back on and if they need help with anything. If they remove it a second time the referee will call them “dead” as if defeated by another player and they must return to the spawn area. If it continues they will be asked to sit out for the rest of the game or longer as is appropriate.
